Hi Gary,   Translation from Psynese to English, I consider part of the general process by which Novamentes will translate their own thoughts to English.  "Language generation" is a difficult task, though on balance perhaps a little easier than language comprehension.   Monitoring of internal thought processes is a more general thing, not particularly to do with linguistic thought.  Of course it's important!!!  in fact, it's really a key part of thought, not a separate issue....  Thought can only be made acceptably intelligent via ongoing context-sensitive parameter-tuning, which requires monitoring to succeed...   -- Ben     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gary Miller Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 11:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [agi] father figure Couldn't a translation agent be written to convert the internal thought process which occurs in Psynese to English.    Since Psynese is as you say more precise and Novamente will need to be able to convey final outputs in English anyway to communicate to humans.   I would think the monitoring of internal thought process would be both highly interesting and necessary to detect negative thought patterns and to help Novamente in the rule discovery process.
